[TxMt] Re: Coloring for a function call

Hi Hans,

Thanks for your reply, getting closer :-)

The one for call works great as it's never in the beginning of a line and there is always space before so this works:
{name = 'meta.call.my_LG';
match = '\s*(call)\s+((\w+)\w*)';
captures = {
1 = { name = 'keyword.control.my_LG'; };
2 = { name = 'entity.name.call.my_LG'; };
};
},

I cannot make it to work for the function though which is always in the beginning of a line with no space before it. I removed the \s* and replaced it with the ^ start of line anchor but it does not seem to work:
{name = 'meta.function.my_LG';
match = '^(function)\s+((\w+)\w*)';
captures = {
1 = { name = 'keyword.control.my_LG'; };
2 = { name = 'entity.name.function.my_LG'; };
};
},

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

Hi,

maybe try something like (AN EXAMPLE!):

{    name = 'meta.call.your_LG';
    match = '^\s*(call)\s+(\S+)';
    captures = {
        1 = { name = 'keyword.control.your_LG'; };
        2 = { name = 'entity.name.type.call.your_LG'; };
    };
},
{    name = 'meta.function.your_LG';
    match = '^\s*(function)\s+(\S+)';
    captures = {
        1 = { name = 'storage.type.function.your_LG'; };
        2 = { name = 'entity.name.function.your_LG'; };
    };
},


If you assign the same name for the 2. match in 'call' and 'function'  or you write (function|call) the function name will appear in the same colour.

And look in other Language Grammars (C, Ruby, Python, ...) since it's a common task.

Hope it helps a bit.

Best,
